Deals with The Mahogany Sessions, Complex Media and @EmmiesHouse bring new live performance and interview shows to the platform.

The social media network announced distribution partnerships with music blog and video network The Mahogany Sessions, men’s lifestyle media co Complex Media and @EmmiesHouse, a blog/interview series.

By sharing “grassroots” video content, Myspace wants to strengthen its connection to those who are involved in the music and entertainment industries, said Ron Nielsen, GM of Myspace, in a statement.

The Mahogany Sessions’ contributions will focus on intimate outdoor acoustic sessions with popular and up-and-coming artists. Recent guests have included Bastille, Gary Clark Jr., Hozier, Jack Johnson and Passenger.

Male-focused lifestyle and entertainment platform Complex Media will distribute dozens of videos weekly on Myspace, including co-premieres of popular shows such as Magnum Opus, which takes in-depth looks at career-defining singles for artists such as Ice Cube, Puff Daddy and Busta Rhymes.

Myspace will also get the web series Slumber Party @EmmiesHouse (pictured), featuring Brooklyn-based host Emmie who interviews her favorite artists from her bedroom. Previous guests have included Charli XCX, MS MR and Betty Who.

“Through these and other recent partnerships, Myspace is creating a digital ecosystem that provides a rich portal for users to access mainstream, grassroots, TV and internet-only content,” said Nielsen.
